Cognate Trademark Registration

What Does That Mean?
Cognate is a trademark registry, similar to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where you can instantly document the trademark rights you’ve earned through use.

Unlike the USPTO, Cognate registration takes under 10 minutes – not 10 months – and costs $79.95 for a five-year registration – not hundreds, or thousands if you choose to hire a lawyer. Cognate lets you pay on a monthly or yearly basis, with no long-term commitment.

Cognate also monitors new USPTO trademark applications and will alert you if someone files a federal trademark application for the mark you’ve registered on Cognate.
